Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 425 Choice

Chapter 425 Choice
Now is not the time to go all out.

Although it would not be as long as Uchiha Madara, who needed 10 to 20 years until the end of his life to completely absorb Hashirama's cells and then open the Rinnegan, but Menma would also need a certain transition time to perfectly integrate the original power of the giant Rinnegan and absorb all the spiritual power contained therein.

This expected value time.

It also takes several months.

This can be seen from the speed at which Menma condenses the Tao-Seeking Jade.

When Menma can condense the Tao-Seeking Jade instantly with just a thought, it will be enough to prove that Menma's life level has undergone a complete evolution.

He has risen to a level at least comparable to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.

This fusion time.

It’s time for Menma’s final preparations.

Without the complete power of the Six Paths, Menma would not easily start his comprehensive plan, because Uchiha Madara in the Pure Land might be resurrected at any time. Not to mention the Reincarnation Technique, even the Impure World Reincarnation Technique would be enough to cause Menma considerable trouble, not to mention the blue beast in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Eight kinds of armor-defying techniques.

This is not a technique that has only appeared in recent years.

But the only one who can bring it to its ultimate level is Might Guy. The power of this full-strength burst of youth is almost enough to kill Uchiha Madara, who became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and was almost a perfect Six Paths existence.

He is the number one existence that Menma needs to be most vigilant about right now.

Why did Menma try to avoid a confrontation with Konoha as much as possible? It was because of Might Guy's existence.

This is a huge threat that only Menma knows about at the moment.

"Besides, we can also make use of this guy. Akatsuki is not a completely hidden existence in the ninja world. In order to earn commissions and recruit members, Akatsuki has been active in recent years and has had a lot of contact with several major ninja villages, especially the Iwagakure Village. If their target is all the tailed beasts, then they will definitely have to fight against several major ninja villages together. Using this guy and Akatsuki's sword to weaken the strength of these ninja villages is also a very good choice."

Menma smiled softly and continued.

The sealing of the tailed beasts must of course be done in order.

But there is no saying that the capture of the tailed beasts must be done in order! ?

In the original novel, when the Eight-Tails was not captured, didn't Nagato still bring Konan to personally invade the Hidden Leaf Village to capture the Nine-Tails! ?

Anyway, it’s okay to catch the tailed beast first.

There are currently four tailed beasts in the hands of other ninja villages.

There are five of them on Menma's side.

It is hard to say what strategy Obito and Nagato will adopt, but Menma feels that they can completely lure Obito and Nagato to attack the other major ninja villages first.

If people are determined to follow the order.

After capturing one, it was indeed their place that became the first choice for Obito and Nagato.

But success or failure is one thing.

Whether to do it or not is another matter.

"Well, if Akatsuki has indeed absorbed so many powerful members, we can indeed make use of them. But what about the front line in the Land of Grass? Although we can still hold on, if we delay too long, it will be easy for our casualties to increase further. In addition, the Mist Ninja has already appeared and is threatening the vicinity of the West District. I am afraid that it will cause unrest in the West District, especially causing unrest among the people. I think we still need to send more forces to support it."

After thinking for a while, Xianglin nodded, and then changed the subject.

"We really need to pay more attention to this. Let's notify Shibuki-san and send out the air combat forces. After all, we still have to focus on controlling our own losses. If we are exposed, then we are exposed. Anyway, the major ninja villages will not be able to come up with countermeasures in a short period of time. We can also use this opportunity to test the quality of the air combat forces."

Menma said slowly.

War is not a child's play.

Not to mention the battles between humans with extraordinary powers. As the leader of a large ninja village, any order must take all aspects into consideration. In this regard, no matter how excellent Menma is, it is still easy for some problems with details to occur. This is why, except for some necessary "plot choices", Menma will make decisions arbitrarily. For any other high-level political affairs involving all aspects of the ninja village, Menma always has to convene everyone to discuss and make corresponding judgments after listening to all suggestions.

This is to avoid misjudgment due to lack of experience or vision.

Mental age is one thing, life experience is another.

After all, Menma was just a college student in his previous life, so it is impossible for him to have much relevant life experience.

"Okay, I see. I'll go inform Shibuki-san right away."

Karin nodded and replied.

"Also, there are two capitals of both countries. Menma, it seems that someone has been a bit unruly recently. Do you want to take any action?"

Xianglin's right palm turned into a knife and swung it lightly downwards.

"Well, let Wuque be in charge of this. Get rid of the restless people and let the people in charge in the capital be more vigilant. Although there won't be any big problems, it's best if they can behave themselves. But if it's really out of control, replace them."

Menma said in a nonchalant tone.

Something that must be said.

There are few good people among the nobles in this world, and each of them is more or less stained with a little bit of "black" traces.

For cleaning these people out.

There is no psychological burden on menopause.

Claiming justice?

Sorry, that's the approach of a hot-blooded comic protagonist, not Menma's style. If these people can honestly accept my arrangements and cooperate with me, they still have a chance to survive in the new era.

At most, it would be "beat the landlords and divide the land."

Menma will still leave some opportunities.

But if these people don't know what's good for them.

Menma definitely wouldn't mind sending them to see the Six Paths Sage in advance.

"Ok!"

It is also affected by facial numbness.

Karin also doesn't care about the traditional rules of those so-called daimyo and nobles? In the eyes of Menma and Karin, it's just a joke.

The weak eat the strong.

This is the fundamental law of human survival. As you are just an ordinary person, don't have any undue expectations.

Completely bringing the Land of Grass and the Land of Taki, which are covered by the Hikari Village's power, under his control was something Menma had started to arrange long before the Hikari Village was established. If he really followed the tradition with other national ninja villages, especially Konoha, not to mention how much constraints it would bring to Menma, even the establishment of the Hikari Village would be a question mark.

As the destroyer of the old era and the old order.

Menma is determined to break this rule.

The system is made by the strong. It will take time for the general public to verify and approve whether he is the right party, but at least for the current action, Menma does not want to be affected by anything.

"Oh, by the way, Menma, as for the situation in the northwest, do we need to respond? The Iwagakure Village seems to have crossed the line. Although there are no dangerous actions at the moment, I am worried about their next move."

"Don't worry about it for now. That old fox won't take action unless he sees the situation going further. He doesn't want to make things difficult for others. As long as I don't move, the Iwagakure Village won't really do anything. We just need to maintain the most basic security."

Menma said very confidently.

This is by no means Menma's arrogance, but with the strength he has shown before, he is at least comparable to the Third Raikage, and may be even stronger. Unless the Hidden Mist Village can really further threaten the heartland of the Hidden Light Village and disrupt Menma's tactical arrangements, or there is another big ninja village declaring war on the Hidden Light Village headed by Menma, otherwise, Ōnoki will not easily go down to join the battle.

The sign of ally.

It will still be firmly established.

"Well, I understand what you mean, but I think we should be more conservative here, Menma. Our combat power distribution is sufficient. It is indeed inconvenient for you to act easily if you stay in the center. Then let Fu and I take charge of the Iwagakure Village. In this way, if the Iwagakure Village really takes any action, we can ensure that there will be no major tactical defense problems in the first place."

But this time, Karin obviously did not agree with Menma's judgment.

Instead, he directly put forward his own views.

Unlike the Sand Village, which poses a limited threat, the Cloud Village has already been severely damaged once, and the Konohagakure Village itself is wavering. The Iwagakure Village has always been the most deterrent "potential enemy".

Xianglin felt that no matter how much attention and precautions were given, it was not excessive.

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Menma was stunned at first, then nodded quickly.

Sometimes, it's not intentional.

It's just that it's easy for certain changes to cause complacency in one's heart. Menma usually restrains himself, but he still reveals it a little bit occasionally.

This is when you need reminders from others.

"Then do as you say, Karin. The direction of the Iwagakure is now entirely in your hands."

Menma said with a smile.

"Yeah! Menma!"

Instructions were conveyed quickly.

When receiving Menma's order, Musuke led the further expanded Anbu members to carry out Menma's order.

The light ninjas stationed in the two capitals also further strengthened the supervision of the daimyo and nobles. No one was allowed to enter or leave the capital at will at any time.

At Shibuki.

All the ninjas of the air combat unit were summoned immediately, and two giant floating war fortresses were launched from the secret base. (One is a legacy from the Kingdom of the Sky, and the other is a new generation of flying fortresses built with a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources during this period.)
Each of them carried more than 300 light ninjas and immediately headed towards the direction of the Land of Grass.

Although there is a bit of a passive sense of participating in the war.

But since the target is the entire ninja world, it doesn't make much difference which one to attack first. The overloaded war machine is a military action that cannot be hidden. The moment the air combat force of the Hikari Village was dispatched, the investigators from the ninja villages of various countries also obtained a certain amount of information.

Each of them quickly passed the corresponding information back.

To the ninja villages in various countries that received the news.

Konoha and Kumogakure are still relatively safe for the time being.

But in Iwagakure Village.

The Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki, was obviously ready to make some moves.

More and more forces are gathering at the border, already exceeding three thousand, and the number is still increasing. As a ninja village second only to Konoha in terms of foundation among the major countries, the number of ninjas in Iwagakure is definitely more than fifteen thousand. Whether it is close to twenty thousand or not is only known by the senior officials of Iwagakure headed by Ohnoki. But what is certain is that Iwagakure is different from Kirigakure. They don't need to go all out. While ensuring the basic defense of other areas, they can still dispatch nearly ten thousand ninja troops.
The current surge in numbers is just the beginning. There are even some Rock Ninjas who have crossed the border. Although not many, this is already a very dangerous trend, although they are currently doing so in the name of assisting their allies.

But the arrival of such a force.

It is enough to disrupt the regional balance.

The most important thing is that the leader of the team is Ōnoki’s son, Yodo, and the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Han, were both sent to the front line at the same time.

Such a configuration.

It is enough to attack any ninja village.

Moreover, Ohnoki himself was also ready for the battle. The strength that Menma had shown in the previous war made Ohnoki feel that it was necessary to use a more luxurious lineup than the one that besieged the Third Raikage that year to deal with him.

As soon as the Hidden Mist Village achieves a real and substantial breakthrough on the southern front, Ohnoki will lead his troops south.

However, Ōnoki did not wait for the news of a breakthrough on the front line of the Hidden Mist Village, but instead received information that the Hidden Light Village had strengthened its forces on the northwestern border.

Although this is an expected development.

But when he really saw that Menma was really wary of him, Oonoki still felt very emotional.

"What an incredible young man."

The country of earth, the village of Iwagakure.

In the large office that belonged exclusively to Ohnoki, Ohnoki looked at the information in his hand, shook his head subconsciously and spoke softly.

Said without politeness.

Menma is truly the most outstanding young man Ōnoki has ever seen in his decades of life. Even Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama would have had a very obvious gap when they were Menma's age. This is not only reflected in personal strength, but also in qualities in all aspects.

Nine-Tailed Fox is one aspect.

But Oonoki saw more of Menma's own shining points.

because of this.

Ōnoki felt more and more sorry.

Why couldn't he have been more forceful in inviting Menma to join their Iwagakure Village?

The thought of this.

Ōnoki felt very regretful.

But this emotion only lasted for a moment.

There are no ifs in this world.

Now Menma and his Hikage Village forces have become a real threat to the interests and safety of the Iwagakure Village.

Even if I feel pity.

Ohnoki also wants to completely resolve this hidden danger.
